Lessons, risks, implications
Key lessons
The retention of rainwater on earth allows water to carry out its numerous unique functions which support various forms of life on earth. Water maintains a stable climate and a healthy hydrological cycle.
Water is essential for evaporation which transforms the solar radiation into latent heat and thus contributing to a cool and stable climate. Without water, the solar energy is released back into the atmosphere as sensible heat therefore contributing to a rising temperature and drier atmosphere. An atmosphere abundant in moisture content maintains a stable and cool climate mitigating weather extremes such as drastic temperature oscillations, heat waves and intensive precipitation.

Policy description
A damaged environment characterized by erosion, erosion furrows in agricultural lands, drought, flooding, quick rainwater runoff, low water retention capacity of soil, increasing rate of flow of water bodies near built up areas and deforestation.
Thinning atmosphere with higher allergenic content in the atmosphere and greater temperature oscillations between daytime and nighttime temperatures.

Impact on GHGs (net emissions and storage) including soil carbon
Information on Ecosystem impact climate regulation
The project fills groundwater sources, feeds vegetation, and increase evaporation so revitalizes the small hydrological cycle and maintain a stable climate.

Summary
Recovery of the climate and landscape via integrated rainwater retention in the damaged parts of Slovakia utilizing water retention measures (small dams, retention ponds, rainwater gardens, re-cultivated logging roads). The project coordination was WaterandPeople NGO and funded by LIFE program
